Description:

TREVISO (Radicchio di Treviso) is a red-leaf chicory that is easily distinguished from the rest of the radicchios. Its narrow, elongated leaves with thick, white midribs do not form a solid head. Its taste is very strong and more bitter than that of other radicchio varieties. Thanks to its especially bitter taste, treviso is usually used in cooked dishes because cooking tempers and sweetens the flavor. Try halving or quartering treviso, and then grilling it and adding it to risotto or serving it with a herb vinaigrette.
